Shopping in Italy

Italy has always been the model and master of style, taste, and class. It is synonymous with fashion, elegance, design, and most importantly… shopping! "Made in Italy" garments, shoes, and furnishings are known for their high quality, design, and glamour. Visitors have so much to choose from among leading national and international brands at the latest stores, where uniqueness is the rule of thumb. One can start in Milan, fashion and runway capital, where the fashion district is located, between Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga, with shops selling the top Italian and foreign brands. Continue on the streets of Rome and the renowned Via Condotti, which are lined with stores featuring haute couture and prêt a porter, well-established jewellers, and stores focusing on design. Not to mention Florence, where important international fashion events are held every year, and where there are plenty of trendy stores and studios for emerging fashion designers. Every city offers an infinite number of streets for shopping, where visitors can walk through picturesque settings surrounded by buildings, monuments, and one-of-a-kind sceneries, in search of original boutiques and popular marketplaces on their hunt for vintage, avant-garde or glamorous finds. For those who keep up with the latest trends, or simply want to bring home a high-quality product, visiting Italy is a must.

Shopping in Italy does not just mean high-end stores and boutiques - there are also over 3,700 factory outlets.
